Temporary work agencies have traditionally used unorganized and unskilled workers for profit.

Abstract: Temporary work agencies have traditionally used unorganized and unskilled workers for profit. Although these agencies provide jobs for workers who otherwise would not be able to get work, they usually pay the minimum wage with no guarantee of continued work or employee benefits. The following agencies have attempted to structure themselves in a way that eliminates the exploitative aspects of providing jobs for this group of people.
